Have you made sure the power cord is firmly plugged in at both ends?  Try resetting thr SMU - it would be helpful if you could tell us which model iMac you have.

    why won't my screen turn when the phone does?

    Not all apps support screen rotation. The Home screens do not rotate. But also check to make sure you have not locked screen rotation. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and check that rotation lock is not on.

  • I'm syncing music to my iPhone.  My playlist has 15.96 Gig but when I go to sync it, the iPhone says 18.1 Gig of audio.  Any ideas as to why (I realize I'm probably going to feel like an idiot when I get an answer)?

    Do you have any voice memos that were created on your iPhone?
    Did you include music videos?
    If the iPhone isn't behaving like other iPhones, try restarting or restoring it.

  • HT201272 I typed in a digital copy code to get Rise of the Guardians on here because I bought the blu-ray, but the digital copy won't download no matter what I do. Why won't it download? Right now I am very angry for not getting the digital copy.

    I purchased Rise of the Guardians on blu-ray, I typd in the digital copy code that came in the case, the ituns extras downloaded, but no matter what I do, the digital copy of the actual movie won't download. Why won't it download? I've tried everything I could think of, but nothing works, it just simply does not want to download.

    Ok, a new digital copy of Rise of the Guardians started downloading automatically at no extra cost, I admit that I was thrilled, but now my happiness is gone because the new digital copy of Rise of the Guardians simply won't play. Nothing works with it except for the iTunes extras again. I'm getting really tired of this. Why won't it play and why give a digital copy if it refuses to work? Please someone help me out here!

  • Why won't my mac turn on?

    My mac decided not to turn on.  The light is green but it won't turn on.  Could this be my battery?

  • Where are my songs and why won't my iPod turn on?!

    I have two questions.
    First, my apple ID has been the same since I was in college.  HOwever, the computer I used in college that had my 2000plus songs on it has died.  Why are my songs not in my iTunes when I log in under my same ID and how can I get them?
    Second, my iPod will not turn on or even be awknowledged by iTUnes when I plug it in. It will start with the apple sign but then go to a sad robot iPod that says "apple.com/support/ipod" which I have been to and the tips didn't work.  Keep in mind I have a very old version on my iPod because before my computer died, it lost the ablility to connect to the internet.
    Please help!

    Why are my songs not in my iTunes when I log in under my same ID and how can I get them?
    Why would they be?  You didn't back them up anywhere and iTunes does automatically redownload them to new library once you have authorized it.  You can redownload most iTunes purchases again at no cost using the instructions in this article.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    As for the error message on your iPod, it sounds like it's hard drive is dying.  See this Apple support document for more information.

  • Why won't my ipod5 turn on if it says it's charging?

    My ipod5 won't turn on but it says it's charging

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why won't my IMac turn on?

    My IMac is always on. I went to check something and it wont turn on at all?

    Single click the On OFF button and see what happens.  If nothing happens then UNPLUG the computer and wait a couple of minutes and then plug the computer back in and then single click the ON OFF button one time and your computer should start up
    Cheers

  • Why won't my Internet turn on?

    Hi, my Internet will not turn on.  A couple of weeks ago I had a new modem/router installed.  At first everything was fine.  Since yesterday we have not had Internet service.  I contacted my provider and we troubleshooted.  They said it was not because of them, that it had to do with my MAC.   Someone told me it could still be caused from the new router, that it stopped talking to the computer.    Can anyone help?

    System Preferences > Network > (your connection medium ?WiFi?)
    The best way to assure that you get a good Internet connection is to use the Button labeled ( Assist me). If anything has changed (and you indicated the Router has changed) you should then choose Setup Assistant and set up again, including a New Location.

  • Why won't my mac turn back on?

    I have been searching for a while now, but nothing is even close to what happened for me. I was using my computer, macbook pro running mavericks. I had a usb cable that was plugged into my computer, and i got the famous "USB using too much power....." error. I figured it was something dealing with the cable, so i unplugged it, and then a few minutes later my computer shut down in the monitor part. I was confused, and tried pressing the power button a few times, and holding it down and everything. I closed the lid, to see if the display on it would "reset" and turn back on, but instead the computer completely shut off. It has been at least 45 min, and the computer will not turn back on. The charger doesn't work, and the computer will not work in any way. Can somebody tell me what has happened? Do I need to take it to apple? Or is there something I can do?

    When you press the power button, does your Mac produce the startup chime?
    If not, that indicates failure of POST ( Power On Self Test ). This is usually caused by a hardware failure.
    Take it to the Apple Store and ask them to check it out.

  • Why won't my laptop turn on unless it is plugged in

    My laptop will not turn on unless it is plugged in. When it is plugged in, the light indicator is green. If I have the computer on and unplug it, it just shuts off and goes black.

    Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you are running 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion), then select Power from the left hand column of the System Profiler. Copy and paste the Battery Information from the top of the page back here.

  • Why won't the GPS turn off?

    For some reason the tiny GPS arrow on the top of the screen next to BatteryUse stays on.
    I have no apps using it right now. It is just on.
    It is only slightly anooying, I can live with it, but I fear it is using up the battery a lot faster.
    Any halp?

    Turn off location service.
    Have a look at the manual:
